Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay will miss the Europa League quarter-final first leg against Sevilla through injury.
Man United confirmed via their official website that McTominay missed United’s open training session and won’t feature in tomorrow’s clash.
The club ensured that his injury is not serious, so he should not be out of action for very long.
Erik ten Hag confirmed earlier in the day that Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Alejandro Garnacho also won’t play due to their respective injuries.
McTominay started the last four games for the Red Devils as Casemiro served his domestic suspension.
He has been in fine goalscoring form lately, striking four times for Scotland in the recent international break. He continued his purple patch by netting the opening goal against Everton on Saturday.
Due to his attacking prowess, the manager deployed him in a more advanced role. This freedom allowed him to make darting runs in behind that can disrupt the opposition’s defence.
Christian Eriksen made his return from an ankle injury against the Toffees as a substitute. Ten Hag may opt to slot him back into the team slowly, which will allow Marcel Sabitzer to keep his starting spot.
Casemiro is expected to occupy the number six spot, with Bruno Fernandes switching back to his attacking midfielder role.
Considering the options Ten Hag has in midfield, McTominay was unlikely to feature tomorrow.
The Dutchman will field his best possible team tomorrow as a Europa League triumph will assure them of Champions League football for next season.
After clashing with Sevilla at Old Trafford, United will travel to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this weekend.
